I have 2 Apple ID's and want to get rid of one?  How do you do that?

Stop using it.
Accounts cannot be merged, purchases made under an account cannot be transferred to another account.

  • HT204053 I have two Apple ID's and want to get rid of one of them. How can i delete the extra one ?

    How can I delete an extra Apple ID ?
    I just want to have one only for my Iphone and for my Mac.
    Thank you for any advice.

    I went to the Apple support site last nite for a live chat.
    The tech there suggested 2 separate actions;
    Here they are, verbatum;
    # 1
    Go to,
    Store-ID-sign out
    #2
    Change the password to a random string of numbers and letters and set up the other account on both services.
    So...
    That's it. Neither suggestion worked for me so I'm going up to the apple store in Century City and see if one of the geniuses can straighten me out. 

  • Does anyone else have two Apple IDs? I can't get rid of one of them. It's associated with my iCloud account and I can't fix it. The password doesn't work.

    So, apparently I have two Apple IDs associated with my iPhone. One is an old aol address that got hacked and was shut down. Even aol doesn't recognize the email address anymore, and the password doesn't work. It's associated with my iCloud account, so now I can't access that account. My other Apple ID is with everything associated with my iPhone and everything works just fine. But now I can't get to my iCloud stuff. Has this ever happened to anyone else. The guy at the Apple store says he's never heard of it.

    Does the alert refer to "Local Items?"

    Hello Halfback71,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
    If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
    Best of luck,

  • HT204053 i have two apple id's and wish to merge them onto one but keep my purchase history?

    Struggling with this one, I have two apple id's. One old one that I use for store purchases asscociated with old email address, along with a considerable purchase history. I also have an id assciated with a [email protected] email that I use for all other apple servcies and personal email. How do I make the xxxxx.me.com email address my single apple apple id but 'transfer' my legacy purchase history to this id? Thanks andy645

  • Seem to have 2 accounts and want to get rid of one with wrong email and payment methods

    I have 2 accounts and wish to close one as email details and payment method are changed.

    Only iTunes Support can potentially delete an account, which will also remove any content that was downloaded on the account :  http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    If you don't want to use the account anymore then you can log into it and remove any personal info from e.g. payment details. If you have any downloads on the account that you want to retain access to then remember the id and its password, you will need them if you want to redownload them, authorise them on a new computer, and download updates to its apps.

    You cannot merge Apple ID's. Copied from Apple's FAQ about Apple ID's.

  • We have two apple ID's and two libraries.  My daughter's IPOD is syncing with my library and I need to change this, but I can't figure out how.

    We have two apple ID's and two libraries.  My daughter's iPOD is syncing with my library and we really want to go to just one library--Mine for ease and we can't figure out how to do it.  Please help!!!

    Apple does not transfer content bought with one Apple ID to another Apple ID. Apple will not merge two Apple IDs.
    If most of your content was bought with the Yahoo! Apple ID but you now want the Gmail address for your Apple ID, the trick will be to change the address used for the Yahoo ID with the Gmail address. However, to do that you must first free the Gmail address from that other Apple ID. Use the instructions from Apple to substitute another address that is not used as an Apple ID for your Gmail address in the Apple ID with the Gmail address. Then, when the Gmail address is no longer used in an Apple ID, you can use the same instructions to substitute the Gmail address for the Yahoo address in the Apple ID with the Yahoo address.

  • HT204053 I have two apple ID's and it's causing problems in my contacts. It repeats the same address and sometimes displays email address only but not the full contact details? How do I get my contact list the same in all my devices (iMac, iPhone & iPad (

    I have two Apple ID's and it's casing problems on my contact list as it repeats the address in somecases and in others it only displays email address for a contact. I want to have the same contact list and details on all my devices (iMac, iPhone 4S & iPad Mini)? Is it possible?

    By using 1 of the 2 ID's instead of both, choose one, move everything in the other one to the one you chose and stop using it.

    All content and data is forever associated with the Apple ID you used to download it. You should have reset the password for the original I'd.

  • I have a new macbook pro and want to purchase adobe photoshop.   How can I do that with apple retina display compatibility?

    I have a new macbook pro and want to purchase adobe photoshop.   How can I do that with apple retina display compatibility?  Does anyone use photoshop on your mac?

    Adobe is moving from the purchase of a license for their software to the renting of it. I'm old school so I'd prefer a perpetual license. But you already have a subscription to Illustrator so I guess it'd be advisable to look into whether expanding the subscription to include other software will save you some money. Also I remember something about Adobe adding features to its Cloud version which aren't also added to the licensed version and a different way of handling updates and upgrades. Indeed, Adobe states that CS 6 has reached the end of the road. So if you're going to stay with Adobe, you may very well be stuck.
    I'd suggest spending some time in the Adobe Communities. You'll likely find people complaining about choices they've made that you'll have to make too. Let them be the beta testers.

  • We have an Apple 9 and 10 operating system and want to get rid of the 9 how do we do that?

    We have a power mac G4 with Operating Systems 10.3 on it and 9.0 and want to get rid of the 9.0 and only upgrade the 10.3 to Snow Leopard is that possible and what do we do? Does this mean when we bought this did they partition the drive, do we need to undo something to make this work properly?
    Julie Reid

    An alternate method is to just throw away the OS 9 System Folder (not the folder named System - that's OSX), and throw away the OS 9-only apps you might have.
    Since it is OS 9.0, it can not be used as Classic - and so there should be no hooks to Classic in OSX that might prevent a casual removal via the Trash.
    If OS 9 is on its own partition (the default is everyhting on one volume (partition), but any folks who have both OS's have placed OS 9 on its own partition), then you can erase just that partition.
    Additional issue -
    You mentioned installing Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6). Since you have a PowerMac, that's not possible. Snow Leopard will run only on machines having an Intel processor, which no PowerMac (or any machine capable of using OS 9) has.
    Depending on other criteria, your machine may not even be suitable for Leopard (OSX 10.5). There are some minimum requirements that must be met - primarily a CPU (machine) speed of 867MHz (no stock machine capable of boooting to OS 9.0 has a processor that fast), plus some minimums with regard to RAM and available hard drive space.
    The full specs for Leopard are shown in this Apple KBase article -
